The Last Dragonslayer

Every Friday we give a new book away. To get the book, it's simple: just be the first to fill out the form at the bottom of the page. (Note: you must be a Fresno County resident to be eligible for Free Fridays.)

In the good old days,
magic was powerful, unregulated by government, and even the largest
spell could be woven without filling in the magic release form B1-7g.
But somewhere, somehow, the magic started draining away.

Jennifer
Strange runs Kazam!, an employment agency for state-registered
magicians, soothsayers and sorceresses. But work is drying up. Drain
cleaner is cheaper and quicker than a spell. Why trust a cold and drafty
magic carpet when jetliners offer a comfy seat and an in-flight movie?
And now potions are eligible for VAT...

But then the visions
start. The Last Dragon is going to be killed by a Dragonslayer at 12.00
on Sunday. The death will unleash untold devastation on the UnUnited
Kingdom, setting principality against dukedom and property developer
against homesteader. And all the signs are pointing to Jennifer Strange,
and saying"Big Magic is coming!"

Congrats to Emily, who was first to claim the book. Emily, your book is on its way!
